U2 - 1983-05-30 - Devore, CA (SBD)

In addition to The Pretenders, Rock Day at the 1983 US Festival featured another new wave band that was looking to make a name for itself, namely U2.  Maybe the organizers had a sense of what the future held, because as we all know, U2 became one of rock's biggest acts. In fact just 6 days later, at a concert at Red Rocks, during Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bono would wave a large white flag through a sea of crimson mist in what Rolling Stone would call one of rock's iconic moments. Download this soundboard recording from may 30, 1983, 29 years ago today, to hear U2 on the cusp on greatness.
